Quick Tip: Being Grateful

Thanksgiving is the holiday that reminds all of us to practice gratitude. However, plenty of research has been done that proves we should be grateful more often. Like daily. 

The list of benefits is long and in all cases will improve your trading performance!

1. Reduced anxiety.

2. Improves your ability to handle stress.

3. Increase happiness. 

4. Improve relationships. 

5. Boost productivity and goal achievement. 

6. Increase positive emotions. 

That’s an incredible list! How does it work? 

Gratitude shifts attention away from negative emotions and fosters a sense of abundance, which is critical to limiting over-trading and impulsivity. It activates the brain's reward system, releasing dopamine and serotonin, neurotransmitters associated with happiness and well-being. 

Enjoy your holiday and make gratitude part of your morning routine. 

Trade fearlessly,
